Time is running out as the union representing tens of thousands of Strip resort workers continues to warn of a possible strike in the coming weeks.
Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer for the Culinary Union, told Channel 13 on Monday that his and the organization’s patience is running thin. “Really, we’re incredibly disappointed,” Pappageorge said. “There’s been no movement whatsoever on economics.”
The previous labor deal between the union and what it calls the “Big Three” Strip casino-resort companies — MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment, and Wynn Resorts — expired in May.
Union members have been working without a contract ever since. With big events coming up soon on the Las Vegas events calendar, a strike could pose big problems for an industry already struggling to find employees.
